villan-scott Posted October 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2018 I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a press conference. Roll on the unveiling tomorrow, really intrigued with what he will have to say. Welcome Smiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's presumably a part time job, and he can stay in Scotland and just travel when he needs to. you know, what with finding it difficult to acclimatise to the midlands. Bizarre - I honestly would not have Maloney down as coaching material- takes all I guess ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'm ready for us to play already. I wonder if Smith, O'Kelly, and Terry might come out with some kind of surprise. Like 3-5-2 maybe. or complete sit deep and counter. or 4-1-3-2 (I suspect the latter is most likely) One interesting thing is that Swansea will have very little idea what to expect, making their preparation difficult. So, whatever we do, if we start really strong for the first 10-15 minutes, we could put them on their heels. I would like to see three things. More high pressure on the ball. More off the ball movement when we have possession. Fewer aimless, but hopeful crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mj Mooney explained it well. I understand the point, but JG acquired his passion through a football job, born in Scunthorpe.....not a fan on the terraces from Youth, Like Ian Taylor....but its up for interpretation. I guess Ron Atkinson, could be a candidate, raised in Lea Village, but i don't know if he supported Villa as a lad, like Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
